PerIIs Of Photography.

In the year 1887 nobody viii be proud
of his ancestors. There viii be no
claims Of long descent, and people, in
stead Of constantly abiding to their
forefathers, the pioneers of 1849, the
passengers of the original MaYfower,
viii carefully avoid all mention OF
them. Why? Because when any such
RllusiOn is made the TGOlJUeGtL richie Will
ask to inspect the family album, and
the photographs of this century viii
simply be discreditable.
Do you ever open the old album and
look over the pictures? Well, the old
folks-your father and mother-alwavs
look well, for, don't you know, parents
are always Old-fashiOned. But there's
your aunt, with O coal-scuttle bonnet
and hoops, and her hair pasted down
over her forehead and parted In the
middle; with a kind of iaundice com.
plexiOn and bright eyes, that show in
their pupils nothing but the excited,
intense interest of trying to look into
the camera for fifty seconds without
winking. And you thought she was so
pretty then, and you remember as a
child when you went and told your
mother you saw her being kissed by her
beau at the garden gate. Then there's
her beau, who afterWard married her.
He was so handsome, don't you know.
Look at him. He wears a long frock
coat with lappels that curl up under
his arms; he has a flaming necktie and
a shirt front showing down TO where
the coat looks as if it were tied by a
string tight around his waist. His
trousers don't fit, and his face Is all
covered with yellow specks, and he
looks as if he had swallowed a fly and
/ it was in dying agOnies IN his windpipe,
while he daren'b cough for fear Of
spelling the picture. Then there's
yourself Well, that's not so bad.
| You know you were very pretty as a
child, and you remember the dress, and
-Well-you're not quite 50 Old-fash-
| ioned-to yoursslf-as the others. And
| you turn the page. There's Fred,
whom YOU Tilted. You look at him and
you're glad you Tilted him He used
to be SO. beautifully pensive. Now he
/ looks like an idiot, and-well-yOu
doubt If he ever could have been so
| horrid, anyway. Then your husband
/ comes along and turns the book over
and says: "DO you remember that?"
YoH close It on his fingers; it's fearful.
| You have an oId-fashiOned, shRpeless,
| black silk gown that looks ike ginghams
| or something with wide sleeves and
big ruf1es, and the skirt is gracefully
punched out like a half-exhausted bal
/ loon. And you've had the picture
/ painted, and the beautiful red Of your
/ cheeks has become mottled, and the
neck Is yellow, and the hair is q dirty
brown color, and you've got hold most
awkwardly Of a green chair. And your
/ husband wonders what he ever could
see in you, until you show him his own
/ picture Then he shuts up suddenly.

CuriosItIes of ne Yoice.

DR.. Delaunay, IN a paper read before
the French Academy of Medicine. gives
some details Of the history and limits
of the human voice, which he obtained
after much patient research. Accord
ing to the Doctor, the primitive inhab-
1tants OF Europe were all tenors; their
descendants Of the present day are bari
tones, and their grandsons will have
seml-bass voices. Looking at different
races, he calls attention to the fact that
inferior races, such as negroes, etc.
have higher voices than white men.
The voice has also tendency to deepen
with ege-the tenor of sixteen become
ing the baritone Of twenty-five. and
bass at thirty-fve. Fair-complexioned
people have higher voices than the
dark-skinned, the former being usually
sopranos or tenOrs, and the latter con
traltOs or bassos. Tenors, saws the
Doctor are slenderly built and thin .
bassos are stoutly made and cOrpulent.
This may be so, as a rule, but one is in
elined to think there are more excep-
tons to 1t than are necessary to prove
the rule. The same remark applies to
the assertion that thoughtful, intelli-
gent men have always a deep-toned
voice; whereas trihers and frivolous per-
sons have soft weak voices. The voice
Is Perceplbly higher, he says, before
than after q meal. which Is the reason
why tenOrs dine early, in order that
the voice may not suffer. It Is almost SUI
perhuous for him to remind his learned
| audience. that singers who were pru-
| dent escheWed strong drinks and spir.
ituOus liquors, especially tenors, for the
/ bassOs generally eat and drink with i'm.
punity. The south, says the doctor.
furnishes the tenors; the north The
bassOss in proof Of which he adds thai
the majority of the French tenors in
vogue come from the south Of France
while the bassos belong to the north.

LIS FeIters RemOYed.

Jim Beasley, the man who has 9or
several years made the newspaper
business uncomfortable, not to say
dangerous, in this hOurishing CITY, is
dead. He was a man of peculiar dis
position and was a sort of censor of the
press. He never gave instructions
beforehand as regards what would
please or displease him, but shortly
after the paper was published, should
anything IN it offend him, he would
come around and make his presence
exceedingly disagreeable. jim was a
very capriciOus man. Sometimes he
would excuse the broadest sort of a
statement; frequently he would be-
come enraged at the merest trife. He
did not ike humor and was not an
admirer of the pathetic. One time we
wrote a joke about . fellow whose
oxen ran away, having scented water
while thirsty, and tumbled of a bluff.
The item was very laughable, but Mr..
Beasley did not laugh. He came to
our Office and told us that any man
who would make fun of a yoke of poor,
unfortunate oxen ought to be kicked.
Then Mr.. Beasley kicked US. We are
not a man to take the halter off our
own passions and let them gallOp IN
1 restrained, so We said nothing. We
are not a fool We know that It stood
US well in hand to keep on the good
side Of Mr.. Beasley, and look out for
an opportunity of attempting to please
him. The opportunity came in the
death of an old man. We wrote 9
/ pathetic article, and when the paper
had been sent out we, IN a satisfied
! condition of mind, sat down and waited
! for Mr.. Beasley to come around and
/ congratulate US. He came, but did
not congratulate. He said that any.
| body that would slobber over the death
of an old skinhint who ought to have
died years ago needed kicking. Then
Mr.. Beasley kicked US. These Incl
dents are given merely to show how
difficult 1t has been to satisfactorily run
a newspaper IN this city, and to Illus.

nOunce that Mr.. Beasley is dead. He
